I got a cupful of it on my whole hand, on chemistry class a bunch of years back, when some idiot knocked the cup off its base. I washed it off right away, but I don't remember feeling anything at all.

I guarantee you it wasn't very concentrated, then, Disco.

Yeah this stuff was stored in a tiny dropper bottle and is used with a Sodium Hypochlorite reagent to test the chlorine levels. In the presence of chlorine, it turns pink.

Ouch.

@Luke: How do you know I don't have a medical condition that prevented me from feeling anything?

Because stating you didn't feel it suggests you have the ability to feel.

If you didn't you would have explicitely stated otherwise.

Thats what you get for playing with acid kids!

I accedently breathed in sulfuric acid through my nose once in chemistry class. I didn't stop bleeding in the nose for 6 months. I had to go and blow out all the blood once or twice a day cus I couldn't breath.
Lucky me it wasn't that concentrated, but still enough to be quite painful
I hate chemistry

You have to quickly put some baking soda on the place where sulfuric acid was dropped.
I also have H2SO4 at home. It's 30-40% :).
Madcow, that was... not intelligent :). I once smelled ammonia gas in a chemistry class while the teacher wasn't there. It felt like I lost my breath... And since then, I'm addicted to smelling hair dye.

Rimrook, a picture pls with the spot?

@Striker: Well it obviously wasn't on purpose. We had no idea that sulfuric acid would be created in the process, neither we were told. And so we believed until I opened the airtightlocker to obtain my product, and out comes condensed sulrufic acid

I'm happy im not doing high level chemistry in school :).

I didn't fail chemistry, chemistry failed me.

Oh come on Rimrook, after seeing that PIC it makes me laugh a bit :).

ha reminds me of my old job where we worked with concentrated organic peroxide. if you got the stuff on your skin it would immediately turn your skin white and burn you. It would start dead organic material(like leather boots) on fire if it came in contact with them..

Ah the fun of nasty chemicals. at least you didn't get it in your eye or on the kids..=P

Ouch. Sorry to hear.
